    Who all is coming to the dragon?

    I was thinking we would meet up at my house around 11 am and head up from there. It generally takes about 3 hours or so to drive there and with the limited stops we need to make, that should put us there around 3 or so....right before check in! :D


    So, who all is coming to the dragon?

    Post em up!

    You know I am.

    I just had a thought. Anyone crashing at your place the night before? If I don't do that I will just meet you guys up in Ellijay at Wal-Mart. Since we normally stop there anyway.

    we could, but that would take far too long.

    Richard,

    I'm thinking about 12:30 we'll be passing through Ellijay.

    Man

    What a great time!

    I wish that Amanda and I had gotten together with you guys sooner...like 6 hours sooner, but none-the-less...we had a wonderful trip. I think that we did a total of about 600 miles. Clermont to Coperhill via 129 to 180 to 60. Then 68 from Copperhill to Tellico, then from Tellico along the Charaholla Skyway to Robinsville, then up to deals gap, then to Fontana Village. By that time it was about 8pm and we had missed out on all of the camping spots so we had to get a cabin. Next time we plan to be more a part of the group, we definately weren't trying to be anti social, we just arrived late in the game...and we still had some "things to take care of"...:ddirty:

    We ran the dragon on Sunday morning around 11am, it wasn't as crowded as I was expecting it to be, got to open the throttle up a good bit. What a great stretch of road!

    We spent the rest of the day driving the long way back to Clermont GA and we are about to sit down for a yummy dinner.
